RE: Is There Any Room For Short Content On Steemit?
thanks for your input
I think I've written my best reply to preparedwombat which is atm the top comment so I won't repeat too much
Taking into consideration that there's probably a large number of silent dissenters, I was likely overvaluing myself. That being said, I was probably still being out-competed by a passive version of myself just renting out the votes and doing absolutely nothing.
I'll try to find some sort of middle ground going into the future. For now, they'll definitely be less activity from me.
And yes, I find that even with perfectly well written long form content, they can still be excruciatingly dull. Good short content usually don't fall prey to this problem.
Another subject from your post.....regarding shorter content.
[email protected] trend is toward shorter content....for various reasons.
Have you read the book...The Shallows by Nicholas Carr.

An interesting read, an ideal gift for graduates. ^_^
About that quality query.....any post which can induce dialogue is quality...is it not....it certainly brings value to Steemit.....for Steemit is not just a showcase of posts but of interaction amongst members. Looks like you bring quality and value to Steemit in spades.
Enjoyed reading the replies.....regarding the topic of your post.
Cheers.
That's a fine observation; i.e., this is "not just a showcase of posts, but of interaction," compelling us to maybe rethink Steemit, if even a little bit.
And thanks for the link to "The Shallows." It seems very interesting, and I've added it to my wishlist.
